Kindly redirect me to a more appropriate forum in case there exists one.
I am an active user of Yandex.Navigator App (available for all kind of mobile platforms). Whenever I open the App, even though my GPS is turned off, it shows me my current location upto a great extent of precision on the map. How they are obtaining my location without asking me to turn GPS on? Are they using my mobile network connection, 3G internet connection, some new technology or what?
Your code for adding an Easy Button and have the map locate the user looks to be working. In the sense that it correctly requests the user his/her permission to use the geolocation API.
It also correctly sets the view to that position once the location completes.
So I assume what you may ask for is how to get the popup set on that position once the location completes, as the code you provide seems not working for that very part?
In that case, you would simply have to bind a callback on map locationfound event, as explained in the map locate method.
// Use map event 'locationfound' to perform some operations once
// the browser locates the user.
map.on('locationfound', function (event) {
L.circle(event.latlng, event.accuracy).addTo(map);
var Test = L.popup().
setContent("Your Location").
setLatLng(event.latlng).addTo(map);
});
This can be done using the coordinates from the source:

This http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1479209 thread has your answer. Shortly, it uses the Mac address of the AP to determine approximately where you are.
